"Good evening, Senpai."
At the entrance of the coffee shop, a blonde junior stood on her tiptoes, eagerly looking out, her delicate and cute profile causing passersby to glance over from time to time.
When Amamiya Natsuki appeared, the blonde junior's eyes immediately lit up with brilliant light. With one hand covering her skirt, she scurried over with small steps.
It was Hayasaka Ai.
"Good evening."
Amamiya Natsuki walked over.
"Whew..."
Hayasaka Ai scurried a few steps, came before Amamiya Natsuki, placed her hands behind her back, gently let out a breath, her eyes reflecting the moonlight and lamplight, sparkling brightly, and said sweetly:
"Senpai, I'll have to trouble you again tonight."
Miss, I'm sorry.
I will definitely keep tonight's events hidden from you.
As long as you don't find out, it means nothing happened.
Amamiya Natsuki nodded and said:
"Running around every day is indeed a bit troublesome."
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
The Spy Maid's sweet smile subtly froze on her face.
Hold it in.
Don't get angry.
How could she hold it in!
A cute girl asks you out at night, and you say something like that? You're destined to be single!
Even more destined to be single than the tsundere Miss who's already out of style!
Amamiya Natsuki continued:
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. Going out not only requires changing clothes but also always makes me sweat... How about you just come to my house tomorrow?"
"Eh?"
Hayasaka Ai was startled.
He actually wants me to go home with him?
In the middle of the night, asking a girl to go home with you, how can you be so shameless!
"Um..."
Hayasaka Ai looked hesitant.
"Don't worry," Amamiya Natsuki said, "I'm the only one at home, so you don't have to worry about running into my parents."
You're overthinking it. A male high school student living alone is even less reassuring!
"Then I'll be troubling Senpai."
Hayasaka Ai weighed the pros and cons and quickly agreed.
She had vowed to win over the boy in front of her, but after several days, there had been no progress. Being alone at home would be more convenient for action than in public.
"Then shall I show you the way?" Amamiya Natsuki turned half his body. "It only takes a few minutes to walk there."
"Mm."
"..."
The two walked back under the cover of night.
The moonlight was cool, like mercury spilling across the land, flowing for a thousand miles.
Upon entering the residential area, the clamor quickly faded away, and the night was filled with the chirping of cicadas and croaking of frogs, which was not annoying but rather quite interesting.
A few minutes later.
Amamiya Natsuki led Hayasaka Ai to the door, took out his key, and opened the door: "We're home."
"Excuse me for intruding."
Hayasaka Ai stepped into the house.
A silly dog quickly ran out of the living room, wagging its tail, and squatted in front of Hayasaka Ai, panting with its tongue out.
"Strange," Amamiya Natsuki raised an eyebrow in surprise, "This idiot likes you so much?"
"It doesn't like me; it likes my big sausage."
Hayasaka Ai complained in her heart.
During her secret infiltrations before, she would always feed this Akita Inu sausages.
Although her clothes and hairstyle were carefully disguised, there was no doubt that she had still been recognized by the dog.
"The dog is super cute," Hayasaka Ai half-squatted down and reached out to pet the dog's head. "Senpai, what's your dog's name?"
Amamiya Natsuki casually said, "Hasaka."
"Ha, Hasaka?"
Hayasaka Ai's smile stiffened, and she couldn't help but look up.
Had she been exposed?
Impossible!
Her disguise was so successful that even the Miss hadn't recognized her. The mere Natsuki, whom she had only known for a short time, definitely couldn't see through her identity!
"I used to call it Shiro-tan, and it would respond once out of ten times," Amamiya Natsuki gently kicked the Akita Inu with his foot. "A few days ago, I called it Hasaka, and it seems to really like that name."
Amamiya Natsuki extended his hand and said, "Hasaka, paw."
"Woof."
The Akita Inu stuck out its tongue and raised its paw.
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
The Spy Maid's mood was subtle.
A name is just a code, and besides, Hasaka isn't her real name anyway... it doesn't seem to matter.
"Hasaka, bow."
"Woof."
"Hasaka, perform a 360-degree backflip."
"Woof."
"..."
Hayasaka Ai bit her silver teeth, unable to bear it any longer.
How can you even say that, asking a dog to do a backflip!
"Oh, by the way, Senpai, there's something I wanted to ask you." Hayasaka Ai cleared her throat twice, changing the subject.
"For certain inconvenient reasons, I can't let you flip the coin today," Amamiya Natsuki said in advance.
It takes three to five days to build up momentum, and Amamiya Natsuki had already decided that Kaguya would use the coin tomorrow.
"Tsk~ Inconvenient reasons, what are they?"
Hayasaka Ai was disappointed, but not a hint of it showed on her face.
"I'm not talking about the coin." Hayasaka Ai lifted her pretty face, hopeful, "My younger brother back home is having a birthday soon, and I've saved up some money from my part-time job recently. I want to get him a custom-built computer. I was on Amazon today picking out parts, and it was so dazzling, my head was spinning. Plus, some people say custom-built PCs are easy to get scammed with... Senpai, could you give me some pointers on how to build a computer?"
A non-existent brother.
Using a birthday gift as an excuse, naturally, she would get closer and create an opportunity for a strategy.
It is well known that boys, such creatures, always like to be teachers and fathers to others; being didactic is one of the essences of humanity.
The field of computer digital products just happens to be a boy's strength and a sensitive area, so this move is called catering to his preferences.
Amamiya Natsuki poured two glasses of ice water, handed one to the Spy Maid, and casually said:
"What are your brother's requirements for the computer?"
"Hmm..." Hayasaka Ai cupped the glass with both hands, tilted her head, pretending to be a computer novice, and gave the standard little girl's answer, "The color should be cute?"
Computers pursue performance, not cuteness!
"Very good, I understand." Amamiya Natsuki looked at Hayasaka Ai, with no intention of reshaping the girl's perception. "What's your budget?"
Countless facts have already proven that girls' and boys' thought processes are not the same; at this point, saying anything more is meaningless.
"Let me calculate..." Hayasaka Ai held up her fingers, "The money from my part-time job, plus the pocket money I saved before, is probably around 60,000 yen."
"That's enough." Amamiya Natsuki finished his ice water in one gulp. "I'll send you the shopping links for each hardware component tonight, and I'll also forward you a step-by-step assembly video from NicoNico."
"That's all?" Hayasaka Ai's eyes widened. "Don't I need to understand anything?"
"We should pursue simplicity and efficiency." Amamiya Natsuki narrowed his eyes. "Don't ask anything, just buy it directly according to the configuration I recommend."
Hayasaka Ai: "..."
That's too simple and crude! Motherboard, memory, graphics card, host, there are clearly so many topics to talk about, and she had already practiced her expression of admiration!
"I understand." Hayasaka Ai secretly bit her silver teeth, changing the subject, "What games do you usually play, Senpai?"
That child loves to play games.
If being a teacher doesn't work, then start with hobbies.
Amamiya Natsuki's gaze shifted to the table.
Hayasaka Ai looked over curiously, and a game cover came into view.
"Saint ♡ Slippery's Academy for Girls"... The game name is too terrible!
Today's match.
Hayasaka Ai.
Failure.
